The Ceramic Garden

I had such a great experience trying a potter’s wheel for the first time. Zoe was a very relaxed, fun teacher and everything about the session made me want to come back for more. Great job Zoe, thank you very much!

Did an intensive course here and it was so wonderful that I immediately signed up for an 8-week course, which was also brilliant. Having quite a small group and lots of freedom to choose our own direction, while still getting lots of instruction, was great. Hugely recommended!

I can definitely recommend the 2 day intensive pottery course. Having never tried pottery before I was amazed when I finished the course with 6 pots that I was happy with. Zoe and Nikki are warm and welcoming and make you feel so at ease in the zen surroundings of their beautiful studio. A really enjoyable course, full of easily digestible information that you can apply straight away to your pots. I look forward to seeing what mine are going to turn out like once they have been in the kiln :). Thank you!

A great experience. A beautiful, light, well equipped studio in a stunning garden! There are several wheels so each person can be working at the same time. The taster session was perfect, Nikki is friendly, informative, encouraging and knowledgeable and takes things at a pace to suit each person. We had the opportunity to try a few throws in our session, to try to get one piece right! Would highly recommend. Would definitely go back! Thank you for a couple of great afternoons!

We visited The Ceramic Garden to celebrate my birthday with friends.We arrived through the beautiful garden with our Prosecco, and Nicky was there welcoming into the studio which was clean and inviting.We got stuck in quickly with a demonstration, and then we were off, spinning our own masterpieces under the fantastic supervision of Nicky. It was great fun and she was there on hand to help if (when) we got stuck.It was lots of fun, and we were all laughing at each other’s fails, and supporting each other when we did well.We got to choose one piece to go in the kiln, and then we had the fun of squashing each others unwanted masterpieces at the end.I would thoroughly recommend this as an activity with friends, It was a great experience and one I’m sure we will repeat!!

I had a fantastic time throwing clay and making pots over the 2 days with Zoe. I can’t wait to book another course.I made 6 wonderful items and I’m looking forward to picking them up in a few weeks time.

Thoroughly enjoyed the pottery class at 'The Ceramic Garden'. We are real beginners; however managed to learn alot during the taster class while producing a piece that we were impressed with. The class size is small and intimate. We are likely to return for another class
